THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED
POSITION LEARNING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217748
Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning is a function of ECM to learn the fully closed position of the throttle
valve by monitoring the throttle position sensor output signal. It must be performed each time the harness con-
nector of the electric throttle control actuator or ECM is disconnected or elec tric throttle control actuator inside
is cleaned.
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217749
1.START
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select “CLSD THL POS LEARN” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode.
3. Follow the instructions on the CONSULT-III display.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Check that throttle valve moves during the above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Start the engine.
NOTE:
Engine coolant temperature is 25 °C (77 °F) or less before engine starts.
2. Warm up the engine. NOTE:
Raise engine coolant temperature until it reaches 65 °C (149 °F) or more.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. Check that throttle valve moves during the above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.

FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in
“WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R. NOTE:
 For the fuse number, refer to EC-114, "
Wiring Diagram".
 For the fuse arrangement, refer to PG-143, "
Fuse, Connector and Terminal Arrangement".
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
LOW FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:
 Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
 The fuel hose connection method used when taking fuel pressure check must not be used for other
purposes.
 Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical syst ems operating (i.e. lights, rear defogger, A/C,
etc.) Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readin gs due to varying engine load and changes in
manifold vacuum.
NOTE:
Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero.
2. Prepare fuel hose for fuel pressure check (B) and fuel tube adapter [SST (KV10118400)] (D), then connect fuel pressure
gauge (A).
CAUTION:
 Use suitable fuel hose for fuel pressure check (genuine
NISSAN fuel hose without quick connector).
 To avoid unnecessary force or tension to hose, use mod-
erately long fuel hose for fuel pressure check.
 Do not use the fuel hose for checking fuel pressure with damage or cracks on it.
 Use Pressure Gauge to check fuel pressure.
3. Disconnect fuel feed hose from fuel tube. Refer to EM-43, "
Exploded View".
CAUTION:
Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.

4. Connect fuel hose for fuel pressure check (1) to fuel tube
(engine side) with clamp (2) as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
 Wipe off oil or dirt from hose insertion part using clothmoistened with gasoline.
 Apply proper amount of gasoli ne between top of the fuel
tube (3) and No.1 spool (4).
 Insert fuel hose for fuel pressure check until it touches the No.1 spool on fuel tube.
 Use NISSAN genuine hose clamp (part number: 16439
N4710 or 16439 40U00).
 When reconnecting fuel line, always use new clamps.
 Use a torque driver to tighten clamps.
 Install hose clamp to the position within 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in).
 Make sure that clamp screw does not contact adjacent parts.
5. Connect fuel tube adapter (C) to fuel feed hose (1) in the same manner as instructed in Step 4.
6. After connecting fuel hose for fuel pressure check, pull the hose with a force of approximately 98 N (10 kg,
22 lb) to confirm fuel tube does not come off.
7. Reinstall the part removed at Step 3. NOTE:
Install the part to allow smooth engine starts.
8. Turn ignition switch ON and check for fuel leakage.
9. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
10. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge. CAUTION:
 Do not perform fuel pressure check with system operating. Fuel pressure gauge may indicate
false readings.
 During fuel pressure check, confirm for fuel leakage from fuel connection every 3 minutes.
HIGH FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Since the fuel pressure gauge kit cannot be connected, follow the method shown below to check high fuel
pressure.

In order to set all SRTs, the self-diagnoses as in
the “SRT ITEM” table must have been performed at least
once. Each diagnosis may require actual driving for a long period of time under various conditions.
SRT ITEM
The table below shows required self-diagnostic items to set the SRT to “CMPLT”.
*1: Though displayed on the CONSULT-III screen, “HO2S HTR” is not SRT item.
